But what if a 12-ton train needs a tow? Well, it turns out that the electric Defender is a broke-down train’s perfect companion. Land Rover actually tested the electric Defender’s capability by having it haul a 12-ton train (Unfortunately, no images exist of this train-towing feat.) up at 13-percent grade. Unfortunately, no images exist of this train-towing featHow’s that for a display of electric grunt?

The Defender’s 94-horsepower electric motor with 243 pound-feet of torque is apparently far more capable than the numbers suggest.

Water in your way? Not a problem for the electric Defender as it can wade through water as deep as 800 mm (31 inches). Who says water and electricity don’t mix?
